HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that affects the immune system, particularly the white blood cells called CD4 cells. If not treated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), in which the immune system is severely weakened and the body is less able to fight infections and illnesses.
An HIV test is recommended for anyone who has had unprotected sex, used drugs with shared needles, or run other risks of exposure to the virus. Early detection is crucial for managing the virus and preventing transmission to others. Knowing your HIV status can lead to timely treatment, which significantly improves health and life expectancy.
The presence of HIV antibodies or antigen in the blood. A positive result means you are infected with the HIV virus.
A high level of HIV in the blood, often measured as viral load, indicates an active infection and a higher risk of transmitting the virus to others. It may also indicate a recent infection or progression to AIDS if left untreated.
A low level of HIV in the blood, or an undetectable viral load, means the virus is well under control, often due to effective antiretroviral therapy. This reduces the risk of transmission to others and improves the overall health and life expectancy of the infected person.
